Ok, so the missing export of $DISPLAY appears to be the problem (amarok requires this, too).
Here's a quote from at.c however: /* Write out the environment. Anything that may look like a * special character to the shell is quoted, except for \n, which is * done with a pair of ""'s. Dont't export the no_export list (such * as TERM or DISPLAY) because we don't want these. */ where no_export is: "TERM", "DISPLAY", "_", "SHELLOPTS", "BASH_VERSINFO", "EUID", "GROUPS", "PPID", "UID" -- The 'at' command fails to execute commands at the given times and dates https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/94933 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
